The Dutch established a significant presence in the Caribbean during the 17th century, primarily driven by trade and colonization. They captured various islands, including Sint Eustatius and Aruba, and used them as bases for commerce, particularly in sugar and slave trade. The Dutch West India Company played a crucial role in these endeavors, facilitating the importation of enslaved Africans to work on plantations. Ultimately, Dutch influence in the Caribbean waned over time due to competition from other European powers.
